Hey, do you think traffic is going to be totally backed up? I’d love to go with my girl, but we’re stuck without a ride home—my man is dropping us off, but then he’s heading to his night shift at FedEx. Our only other option is public transit—taking the subway to Brooklyn and then grabbing a bus.

It would even flare up at night while I was sleeping—just total numbness and pain.

Basically—it wasn't about how old the device was—but rather about overworking the arm in all the wrong ways.

It’s just such an incredibly uncomfortable pain—honestly, it's awful.

I actually checked this out about three weeks ago when I was heading in to pick up my ID. I was through and done in maybe five minutes... 🙂

Even the lady at the information desk tells pregnant women they can skip the line. I actually visited both the Heinzelov location and the Petrinja office twice this January.😉

I didn't hesitate—I just stepped right behind whoever was currently being served at the window. I think I heard some grumbling from someone behind me, but honestly—if I cared about that sort of thing, it would bother me.☕

The woman at the ground floor desk was incredibly rude—on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, though, the staff member upstairs was so lovely—it felt like I had stepped through some kind of wormhole in time and space.😍

Mind you, I did wait at the Post Office for half an hour—maybe longer—since the line stretched all the way back to the ticket machines. Even then, you still have those "VIPs" cutting in (apparently, if you're at the police counters, you don't need to wait in line: you can just sit down, lean against the counter, or go outside to feed the birds).😲

I’m 26 weeks pregnant and quite mobile, but I see no reason to stand around listening to other people's nonsense—nor am I planning on popping pills just to deal with them. Besides, under normal circumstances, I’m always happy to let pregnant women, parents with small kids, and the elderly go ahead of me.😁

To my fellow pregnant ladies: if being polite doesn't work, just cut the line. It’s not like we’re asking for the moon here—like demanding a massive increase in maternity benefits.🤣

Maybe I missed it, what's the deal?
I've got a theory brewing, but I'm not sure if we're on the same page.

rustywalker42 said:So, do you even know what that actually means? So, what’s the average temperature between -18°F and -36°F? Just asking. Look, there's only F, C, and R. There is no S. Seriously? You guys actually don't know how to read science?

We’re talking an average of maybe 2 inches of precipitation a year—though you get about 6.5 inches if you look at the whole of Antarctica. It’s a total wasteland. But between the snow and the ice? The solar reflection is so brutal you'd basically get sunburned standing there naked. Who needs that?
Let's not even get started on those hurricane-force winds.

Quincy:

The European Union is actually looking into dumping solar panels all over the Sahara. Seriously? Like we don't have enough problems without trying to turn a desert into a giant battery? Who even thinks this is a good idea? The whole idea? Build a $50 billion high-voltage DC grid. We’re talking massive solar farms out in the Sahara pumping power all the way through North Africa and straight to consumers thousands of miles away. Just like that. If a massive supergrid project in the Sahara actually works? It could potentially power the entire European Union. At least, that’s what Arnulf Jaeger-Walden, head of the EU energy institute, is claiming. Big if true. It's still just a concept in its infancy. Scientists across the European Union are currently grinding away at it, backed by serious political muscle from guys like Nicolas Sarkozy and Gordon Brown.

It's not the EU. It's not some fancy solar panels either. EOD.

Hey there, big scientist—you ever hear that thousands of people actually live out in Antarctica? They're running all kinds of research stations down there, and you've even got tourists visiting!

Most tourists stick to organized tours and stay at research stations since life in Antarctica is pretty brutal. One of the best things about visiting Antarctica? There aren't really any rules—you can basically do whatever you want, as long as you don't go around killing the wildlife. Pretty wild, right?

Graffiti on old shipwreck ruins, sprinting across ice floes, snapping close-up shots of seals and penguins—you can pretty much do whatever you want out there since there’s no real oversight once you leave your guide behind. But that doesn't mean you should go rogue, right? Antarctica isn't exactly the kind of place you want to get lost in, so you'd be crazy not to stick close to a guide who actually knows how to navigate that brutal terrain.

I can't access external links directly to read that specific article, but if you paste the text here, I’ll get right to work! Just send over the content, and I'll give it that fresh, upbeat American makeover you're looking for. Ready when you are!

rustywalker42 said:What a retarded scenario.😂🙏

Even an orangutan couldn't piece together a worse theory.

What freaking Antarctica? Who exactly would live there at -80°C, under what conditions? And what about Morocco? You’d have to cover the whole damn country in solar panels just to power half of Portugal.

Winter in Antarctica isn't actually as freezing as the Arctic. Average air temperatures during the winter months range from about -18°F to -36°F.
Plus, it's arguably the cleanest continent out there since there are no bacteria, so you won't be catching the flu or pneumonia while you're there.

The European Union is looking into installing solar farms in the Sahara.
The idea involves building a high-voltage direct current grid worth roughly $50 billion to transport energy from solar plants in the Sahara and North Africa over thousands of miles to consumers.
If it works, this massive supergrid could potentially meet the entire electricity demand of the European Union, according to Arnulf Jaeger-Walden, head of an EU energy institute.
It’s still in the early stages, with scientists working on it alongside political backing from French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

The global crisis spanning 2009 to 2018 is going to force everyone to embrace a simpler lifestyle, focusing more on actual well-being and quality of life.

With energy costs skyrocketing, we'll be forced to pivot toward a service-based economy. "Central Australia and Oklahoma will be left behind due to water shortages. Athletes will stay home, competing in a virtual Olympics watched by billions."

Since the world basically ignored climate change, global trade collapsed once oil hit $400 a barrel. Smart appliances will automatically shut down the second a household hits its energy quota. Meanwhile, refugees will be migrating en masse to Antarctica.
As a result, globalization is losing the fight, and Morocco is being offered membership in the European Union in exchange for exclusive access to solar energy through 2050.

Mexico really set the blueprint for all these other separatist movements out there.
Remember what the Russians said after that whole Mexico precedent? They claimed the world would never be the same again.
